THE EVE) Diegel Breaks Golf Re MAKES A -66 IN PRACTICE - FOR OPEN TITLE TOQURNEY Many of Entrants in Record Field of 288 Are Tak- ing Whirl Around Links, Where Champion- - ship Will Be Decided Next Week. Associated, Press. HICAGO, July 6—With a course record of 66, set in practice by Leo Diegel of New Orleans, to shoot at; contestants entered in the record field of 288 for the mational open golf championship began C to whirl around the Skokie course today, preparing for the first section of the three elimination rounds that starts on Monday. With fairways made fast by lack of rain, although offering fine lies because of the abundant turf, the expert golfers secking the crown of James Barnes of New York are able to drive to prodigious lengths with the latest models of the standardized balls. Eluding the numerous sand -traps is not so easy, as the fast course tends to let the balls roll, so that a sliced or hooked shot will trickle into the cavities. But the escape Is-falrly easy, as exposition shots are more simple in the powdery sand. On the greens, the velvety gra is 'so even that a golf ball that has not been tested for spherigity will run true to the putter's touch, leaving the plaver to olve only the roll of the terrain: Weather Has Been Ideal. The weather thus far has been ideal, m enough to limber thel muscles and yet not so-hot that it enervates the player on the strenuous round of 6,55 yards. Diegel's record performance of beating par 70 by \ four strokes proved that while the the greens are soft well - pitched shots HOOVER, YANKEE, WINS DIAMOND SKULLS HEAT By the Assoclated Press, HENLEY-ON-THAMES, July 6.— | Walter M.
